Why Organizations Choose Tricerat

For 25+ years, enterprises have trusted Tricerat to take print off the risk register. We give IT a third option beyond fragile legacy servers and reckless cloud-only tools: secure, resilient printing across cloud, on-prem, and VDI that stays under your control.

What Sets ScrewDrivers by Tricerat Apart

Plenty of vendors can move a print job. Far fewer can secure it, scale it across virtual desktops, and keep it running when everything else goes down. These are the four reasons enterprises standardize on ScrewDrivers

HYBRID BY DESIGN

BUILT FOR VIRTUAL DESKTOPS

SECURITY & COMPLIANCE IN THE ARCHITECTURE

A PARTNER THAT STAYS

We don't force the legacy-or-cloud binary. ScrewDrivers runs one control plane across cloud, on-prem, and VDI — so you consolidate aggressively, fortify the servers that must stay, and go serverless only where it's safe. Architecture, not an all-or-nothing migration.

Print is the most common reason a VDI rollout stalls. ScrewDrivers is session-aware: a single universal driver maps the right printers to every Citrix, Omnissa, and Azure Virtual Desktop session — lighter gold images, faster logons, and printing that follows the user.

Zero Trust secure release holds every job until the authorized user authenticates at the device. Print data is processed on-prem, and every event is logged per user, per device, per job — the audit evidence HIPAA, PCI, and internal review teams actually need.

We're not a faceless cloud subscription. Enterprises pick Tricerat for the architecture and stay for the support — hands-on onboarding, a team that knows print at scale, and outcomes that show up as 75% fewer tickets and printing that just works.

The Enterprise Print Decision

Every enterprise evaluating print faces the same three paths. Two of them trade one problem for another — only one is architected for the hybrid reality you already run.

The Legacy Status Quo

Keep stacking print servers and patching spoolers by hand. It's the path of least resistance — and the one nobody actually defends.

Print sprawl: real cost, management burden, and attack surface
Unpatched Windows Print Spooler exposure (PrintNightmare and its relatives)
Driver chaos and shadow IT — with no audit trail for compliance

Outsource Risk to the Cloud

Rip it all out and route every job through someone else's cloud. It sounds simpler on the slide — until you read what you actually signed up for.

Your print data leaves your building and your cryptographic control
No local fallback — a WAN or cloud outage stops printing entirely
VDI sessions break, and one leading vendor carries 83 disclosed CVEs

Why Tricerat — Your Questions, Answered

What does Tricerat do?

Tricerat is an enterprise print-management company founded in 1997. Our flagship platform, ScrewDrivers, delivers a Hybrid Print Architecture that unifies cloud, on-premises, and VDI printing into a single secure control plane — so IT teams in healthcare, education, finance, and other regulated environments can consolidate print servers, secure the document path, and keep printing available.

How is Tricerat different from a cloud-only print vendor?

Cloud-only vendors route every print job through their cloud — your data leaves your walls, you inherit their vulnerabilities, and a WAN or vendor-cloud outage stops printing entirely. Tricerat is hybrid by design: print data is processed on-prem where it must be, local Fortified Instances keep printing during outages, and you consolidate without handing control to a vendor you can't see into.

Do we have to replace all our print servers to use Tricerat?

No. Hybrid Print Architecture is intentionally not all-or-nothing. You eliminate servers where you can, fortify the ones that must stay, and go serverless only where it's safe — all under one control plane. Customers typically consolidate to up to 10x fewer print servers without a disruptive rip-and-replace.

Does Tricerat work with Citrix, IGEL, Omnissa, and Azure Virtual Desktop?

Yes. ScrewDrivers is session-aware: a single universal driver maps the right printers to every virtual session and renders locally to reduce WAN bandwidth by up to 10x, with faster logons across Citrix, IGEL, Omnissa, and Azure Virtual Desktop. VDI printing is one of the most common reasons teams choose Tricerat.

How does Tricerat help with security and compliance?

Zero Trust principles are applied to the securely designed architecture of ScrewDrivers. Secure release holds each job until the authorized user authenticates at the device, so nothing is left exposed in the tray. Print data is processed on-premises for data sovereignty, and every print event is captured in a granular per-user, per-device, per-job audit trail — the evidence compliance teams need for HIPAA, PCI, and internal review.

What kind of results do customers see after using ScrewDrivers?

Typical outcomes include up to 10x fewer print servers after consolidation, roughly 75% fewer print-related help desk tickets, and 99.9% uptime with sub-30-second failover. For example, healthcare systems like West Tennessee Healthcare run secure, high-availability printing for 7,500+ end users on ScrewDrivers.
